UK: Police Ban Pro-Iranian London March

Source: US News & World Report

“British police said ⁠they ⁠had banned a pro-Iranian march ⁠due to take place in London on Sunday, citing the possibility ​of ‘extreme tensions’ with counter-protesters and the risk posed by Tehran during the conflict in the Middle ‌East. The Al Quds march in ‌central London is organised annually by the Islamic Human Rights Commission, which the police ⁠said was ⁠supportive of the Iranian regime. The threshold to ban a protest is ​high in Britain, with the police saying this was the first time the power had been invoked in 14 years, but the risks of public disorder were ‘so severe’ it was right to block ​it. The ban also applies to any counter-protest marches.” (03/11/26)
